Alumni Spotlight

The MOST important thing I learned at CUNY SPS is knowledge of self. I learned that I could be a good student. I learned that I could digest and process subjects like statistics, accounting and organizational behavior. Most importantly, I learned that I could do what I set out to do!

I found CUNY SPS's online community to be very interactive and filled with students representing different backgrounds from all over the world, who shared a love of education. The faculty were always available to answer any questions and kept classes engaging.

Setting goals is easy but knowing how to reach them isn’t always clear. I learned how to turn my passions into career-oriented practices. CUNY SPS gave me the tools to formalize the skills needed in the workforce and taught me how to apply those skills in the real world.

The flexibility of the schedule and the course of study appealed to me. The flexibility allowed me to complete my degree online while continuing to work full-time. I was taking business courses and wanted to continue and complete my bachelor's degree. I was able to transfer all of my credits.

The BA in Communications and Media degree from CUNY SPS has opened many doors for my career and professional fulfillment. My CUNY SPS degree has led to interviews and job offers. It has created professional opportunities and enabled me to meet many successful business people. Importantly, many of the courses I completed gave me the confidence to assert myself, take a leadership role, and be creative in my profession.
